Review:L’oreal Color Riche Lipstick Velvet Rose

Hows everything?
Some days back I posted a Press Release about L’oreal.
This summer L’oreal has introduced 12 enchanting new shades in the shape of L’oreal Color Riche Lipstick.
Color is Back! There’s only one rule; re-invent yourself with L’Oreal Paris Color Riche!

Today I am reviewing one of these beauties.I recieved two of these lipsticks.One from their Natural shades called Velvet Rose & the other from the Intense shades called Perfect Red.

WHAT L’OREAL HAS TO SAY ABOUT COLOR RICHE LIPSTICK:
Experience the intense, natural and boosting serum lip shades through L’Oreal Paris Color Riche where the L’Oréal Laboratories have selected only the purest and finest color pigments, combined uniquely with Omega 3 and Vitamin E to moisturise lips for smooth application and for comfortable wear. L’Oréal Paris Color Riche has a wide range of assertive, intense, vivid, radiant colors which are once again in vogue.

L’Oréal Paris Color Riche is made of rich ingredients and pigments that impart purity and intensity to every woman’s complexion and comes in a wide range of shades and hues that go beyond red to include orange, fuchsia, purple, brown and the ever-popular beige tones.

.WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT L’OREAL COLOR RICHE LIPSTICK:
As L’oreal is one of my favorite drug store brands I was quite excited to hear about the launch of their new lipstick shades.Pinks & Nudes have always been my favorites.
So now that I got the option to review one of these two shades I have reviewed & swatched VELVET ROSE from the NATURAL shades.
Here is a look at it:

The shade is double swatched here.Its a lovely pink shade that appeals a lot to me.I fell in love with the shade even before I applied it to my lips.
The texture of the lipstick is very creamy & even one single application feels like you have applied the lipstick twice.Here is how the lipstick looks on my lips:

another one:

This particular shade appeared neither too glossy nor too matte on my lips,but if you want to achieve a more MATTE look blot it with a tissue paper.

Velvet Rose & Perfect Red
The staying power of this lipstick is also good.It stays for around 4-5 hrs without eating anything but in any case I always want to retouch my lipstick after an hour or two so to me the lasting power doesn’t matter much.
I would have been more happier if L’oreal would have redesigned the packaging of the lipstick as it is the signature L’oreal square packaging & I do love changes.

The name & number of the lipstick is mentioned at the bottom whereas the shade number is at the top.
This lipstick provides medium to full coverage.I will include this shade in my daily wear lipsticks as I love to wear pinks in my daily routine.
Priced at PKR 1,400, L’Oréal Paris Color Riche Lipstick is now available at all L’Oréal Paris counters across Pakistan.
